MY MAD DREAM OF AN ESSAY

Remember that time you ate that spicy tamale just before you went to bed on the night before the big party ?  Oh, that weird dream you had about the 2016 presidential election.  When you woke up you couldn't quite remember the important details, but after reading "On Self-Reliance" and "A Sound of Thunder" it's all coming back to you now.

The dream started badly.  You were in line with your family at a bakery  waiting to be sent to jail.  Everywhere you looked there were posters of president-elect wienerschnitzel, looking like a crazy dogs who could eat a whole cow.  

Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you, "the only way to have a friend is to be one."  You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to help people.  But it wasn't easy.  First you had to put on a fancy clothes and shoes and then you had make a place to go back in time to the jail  so you could convince people to learn about the candidates and the deportation.

But right there in the jail there was a giant German Shepard  and it started barking at everyone.  People started to yell.  You grabbed a bomb from a nearby table and yelled everyone listen up.  Everyone stopped and listened, so you kept going.
